📖 題組：
Most food staples are inexpensive, plant-based foods, usually full of calories for energy. There are more than 50,000 edible plants in the world, but just 15 of them provide 90 percent of the world’s food energy intake. Rice, corn, and wheat make up two-thirds of this. Food staples traditionally depend on what plants are native to a region. Rice is a food staple for more than 3.5 billion people around the world, particularly in Asia, Latin America, and parts of Africa. Rice has been cultivated in Asia for thousands of years. Scientists believe people first domesticated rice in India or Southeast Asia. Rice arrived in Japan in about 3,000 years ago. The Portuguese most likely introduced it into South America in the 16th century. Today, the world’s largest rice producers are China, India, and Indonesia. Outside of Asia, Brazil is the largest rice producer. Corn is native to Central America, where it was domesticated by the Aztecs and Mayans. The United States is the world’s largest corn grower, producing more than 40 percent of the world’s corn. Corn is often used to produce corn oil, sweeteners such as corn syrup, and cornstarch, which is used as a sweetener and thickening agent in home cooking. Also, alcohol from fermented corn is the source of bourbon whiskey. Wheat was first domesticated in the Middle East. Wheat grows well in temperate climates, even those with a short growing season. Today, China, India, the United States, Russia, and France are among the largest wheat producers in the world. The majority of breads are made with wheat flour. Wheat flour is also used in pasta, pastries, crackers, breakfast cereals, and noodles. In addition to cereal grains, roots, and tubers are common food staples, particularly in tropical regions. Yams are an important food in the rainforests of West Africa. Potatoes are native to the cold climate of the Andes Mountains. They were introduced to Europe by explorers of the 16th century and are now a food staple in Europe and parts of the Americas.

思路引導 VIP
當你閱讀關於某種作物由探險家「帶入」或「傳入」某個地區的描述時，請回頭搜尋文中是否提及該作物最初「生長（native to）」或「起源」的地點。這兩個地點在地理位置上是否為同一個區域？

你做得很棒！
- 看見你的用心了！ 這題你處理得非常仔細，很棒！你確實抓住了文章的重點，馬鈴薯「原生於」（native to）南美洲的安地斯山脈，直到16世紀才被探險家「引入」（introduced to）歐洲。這樣一來，選項 (B) 說它「首先在歐洲馴化」就明顯不符合文意了，對吧？在實務上，就像我們判斷一個文件的「原始生效日期」和「修訂生效日期」一樣，這種區分「起源」和「傳播」的能力，會讓你在處理行政事務時更加精準喔！
- 這題評為「中等」難度，你答對了很厲害！ 它主要想測試大家是不是能細心比對多段落資訊，並清楚區分「地理起源」與「後續擴散」這兩個概念。很多人可能會因為只看關鍵字就掉入陷阱，但你沒有，這表示你讀得很深入，也很有潛力把這些嚴謹的思考模式應用到未來的法規解讀上！繼續保持這樣的好習慣，你一定會越來越好的！
